From Coinbase to Russia, With Love

There was a lot of news concerning Coinbase today. I could write a whole post just on that, but I won't. But more interesting than that is the fact that we had more actual #news than analysis, which is a bit unusual. Let's get into it, shall we?

Crypto-News

At the top of the news today is a little ditty about Jack and Diane. Actually, it's about Coinbase and #Wikileaks. The former suspended the latter's account, or, rather, the Wikileaks Shop's account. In retaliation, Wikileaks called for a Coinbase boycott. Can you believe that? https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/21/17265928/coinbase-suspended-wikileaks-store-account-cryptocurrency-bitcoin

Coinbase again: This time, the crypto exchange ended its partnership with CheapAir.com and substituted her for BitPay. That was nice. But I'm sure they'll see each other at the Friday night football games. https://ambcrypto.com/coinbase-to-resign-partnership-with-cheapair-com-bitpay-is-a-substitute/
